The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A lighthearted, comedy-driven interactive sitcom where you navigate absurd retail scenarios by stubbornly saying 'no' to everything.

What players say

Players laugh hard at the absurd adventures of a fed-up retail worker who can only say no or stay silent, but the game splits opinion on whether those choices truly matter. Many are amazed by how many branches and outcomes the simple input system produces, though a few reviewers feel the choices get railroaded. The humor is consistently described as hilarious and the visual style is praised.
